History Quotes / TheLegendOfZelda

->''"You speak of magic? [[MotiveRant Still your tongue for a moment, whelp, and I will tell you of both magic and the oppression of ages...]] The people of our tribe...a tribe that mastered the arts of magic...[[SealedEvilInACan were locked away in this world like insects in a cage]]. In the shadows we regressed, so much so that we soon knew neither anger nor hatred...nor even the faintest bloom of desire. And all of it was the fault of a useless, do-nothing royal family that had resigned itself to this miserable half-existence! I had served and endured in that depraved household for far too long, my impudent princess. And why, you ask? Because I believed I would be the next to rule our people! THAT is why! But would they acknowledge me as their king? No! And as such, I was denied the magic powers befitting our ruler. It was then, in the thrall of hatred and despair, that I turned my eyes to the heavens...and found a god. My god had only one wish... To merge shadow and light... and make darkness!"''

->''"My country lay within a vast desert. When the sun rose into the sky, a burning wind punished my lands, searing the world. And when the moon climbed into the dark of night, a frigid gale pierced our homes. No matter when it came, the wind carried the same thing... Death. But the winds that blew across the green fields of Hyrule brought something other than suffering and ruin. [[GreenEyedMonster I coveted that wind, I suppose.]]"''-->-- '''Ganondorf''' [[MotiveRant tells link about his original intentions]], ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaTheWindWaker''

He disguises himself as a Goron and a Zora various times when he's saving their various respective lands, and so his actions get attributed to whoever he's disguised as. Link himself ghosts through life invisible, a permanent outsider wearing whatever face he needs to gain trust so he can steal everyone's shit without ever permanently affecting their lives. It's like ''Series/QuantumLeap'' for bastards.''-->--'''''WebAnimation/ZeroPunctuation''''' on ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaMajorasMask''

Yeah, go Link, yeah, get some, awesome! Intense!Intense!"
